We have created an in house(only in house because not ready for prime time) module for creating a directory. We have it working by creating the directory and link within a comment. This is less than ideal because it creates this comment/link/directory for all issues/bugs/etc. We would like to improve on it by making it a button which you can push if you want an issue to have a directory. None of us are php programmers and can quite figure out how to do this, also have some time constraints. Just to explain why we think we needed this is because we often drop shell scripts in these directories and using the current file system does not work well for running these scripts from a directory.
I'm more than willing to share the code for this module if someone is interesting in helping us improve this. Or if you can just give me guidance on how to do this button/link part.
